I always find myself looking to the skies...and looking onward.The new blog is up and running.I'm still learning tons about php and making the necessary changes. If it looks drastically different in a day or even in the next 5 minutes, don't worry, I'm just having a bout of indecision.I wanted to make this post and give a warning, I need to do some major maneuvering to get the archives over at

New Spindle MagicWhat can drag a baby away from Dora?New Spindles:They came in the other day. I got them from Two Waters on Etsy Lovely little spindles. Baby Boogie has her hands on them in the photo. A split second after the photo she tried her version of spinning with them. Which I didn't catch. One of these days I'll take a little video of it. She waves the spindles in the air like wands. All

Project SpectrumProject Spectrum starts today. I love this knit along. My life revolves around color in case you're new here. I think it was especially cool to see so many in blogland knitting in color with this project last year. This year will be especially interesting to see what people do with the color combinations.The kit I designed for this month are Lacy mittens in Alpaca. In a new

I shot the cowIt was a quick death. Easy decision.It's tax time. Yes, this is long, work with me. Tax time last From January until April 15th for me.

Spinny SpinnyI've spinning tons lately. Less knitting more spinning. I've been working at finishing up projects and starting new ones. I've been up since 5 with no coffee and the brain isn't thinking in words. I can however provide photos.Remember Twisted Knitters? This is my project for that. I had been spinning it on spindle here and there in between other projects. I finished it up last week,

Eating MondayToday we're having toast.You put one, maybe 2 slices if you're feeling brave, into the toaster. Wait for the ding or the popup. Take out the toast, don't burn yourself on the hot goodness. Then spread on an even coat of margarine. If you're feeling really daring you can add some cinnamon and sugar. Nothing heavy though, not today.Toast, how exciting.I don't really want to think of

-2That's the degrees in Farenheit today. I feel bad for all the people that have to work outside, like Boogie Dad, but frankly it's not winter without a little cold weather. I might actually light a fire in the fireplace this year, something I thought I would do without. Not to mention, knitting on cold days is somehow much more satisfying than knitting during the hot days summer.So what have I

Eating MondayIt is a holiday here in the US. It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I wonder if we had him still today if all the people in this country still struggling for civil rights, would have it any easier....I'm taking the day off. Husbeast is home after being away on business for 5 days. I'll be sitting next to him taking up space on the couch with my knitting. I'm making you wait until

Slow DownWhat is this "slow down" you speak of? Is that what happens when you die? Just laying there all still like? Or do you get to still do stuff? I only have 2 speeds, all go or all stop. I'm not sure there is an in between.I better find the in between speed.I went to the doctor and while there are some more tests to run (I think she's just trying to be thorough), she told me I would

Most of it is business related but since my business is also knitting and my passion, it's worth mentioning here.1Do you recognize this wheel?If not, it's a Schacht matchless single treadle.

Eating MondayI'ts been a long time since I've done one of those. It feels like it's been months since we've had a full work week. I've been cooking and eating so I have plenty of recipes to share. Last Friday I started to feel really sick and well, Saturday I was a couch jockey but this soup helped immensely. Unfortunately, I ate it all before remembering to photograph it.Boogie Hot and Sour

It's that time of the yearEveryone is talking stash and FO's. They're talking about a great desire to finish up their UFO's or as Scout suggests, Just Frog it!.Then there are all those that are setting up groups where you talk of yarn diets and stash only knitting pledges.Of course there are bunches of other groups that are centered around clearing up the stash, the UFO's and WIP's. I admire you

Getting ArtsyI woke up to this: Or at least, I woke up and a couple of hours later, I saw this. With such a successful photo under my belt, I'm thinking that I can take a good photo of Dad's sock.I think of all the unsuccessful photos I've taken of this one poor sock. I think there are more unsuccessful photos than there are stitches in it. 1.On the leather couch, there is too much shine from the

Knitting in the New YearI did indeed spend some couch time over the weekend. Not as much as I would have liked. Short of gluing my butt to the couch and hiring a servant, I don't think anytime would have been enough.Last year on new Years day I cast on for a new project. It was a quick project that was done the same day but none the less, it was a new project. It set how the year was going to
